 Cross railway property and railway tracks only in the designated areas. Negotiate level
crossings so the caster wheels of the product cannot get caught in the gap between
the rail and the road surface.

Speeds above 5 km/h can be dangerous if you have not had enough practice.
 Never drive at too high a speed through a bend or swerve quickly and sharply. This
could make you fall over.

Do not cross obstacles unless you are sure you can perform the manoeuvre safely.
 Attaching loads (e.g. backpacks) can adversely affect stability. Therefore, suspending
additional loads on the product is not permitted.

Use anti-tipper supports unless you are an experienced wheelchair user.
 Never lift the product by its moving or removable parts. Only lift the product by firmly
mounted components.

If your wheelchair is equipped with height-adjustable push handles, ensure that the
clamping levers are always firmly tightened.
 The seat and back support upholstery as well as seat cushions, pads and covers comply
with the normative requirements for flame resistance. However, they may still ignite if
fire is handled improperly or negligently. Keep away from all ignition sources.

The upholstery and the frame can become very hot during prolonged exposure to sun-
light. Do not expose the product to any extreme temperatures (e.g. direct sunlight,
sauna, extreme cold). Do not leave the product in the immediate vicinity of heaters.
 When negotiating an incline, the centre of gravity shifts to the rear and the product
tilts more easily.

When ascending slopes or ramps, or when crossing obstacles on upward slopes, always
lean your upper body far forward. If users cannot lean their body forward, attendants
must secure the rear.
 When descending a slope, the centre of gravity shifts forward and the user can more
easily fall forward out of the product.

Do not reach into the spokes of the rotating drive wheel.
 Pay attention not to pinch parts of your body at the wheel lock lever or between the
side or frame parts.
